Oprah gets a standing O as she delivers endorsement for Harris

It was previously revealed that Oprah Winfrey would make a convention appearance tonight, but it wasn't clear what she would be doing, or whether she would endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. "Good evening everybody!" Winfrey shouted in tones she once used to open her talk show, and proceeded with a speech to a crowd in her hometown Chicago. "What we're going to do is elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States." Oprah Winfrey speaks during the Democratic National Convention. (AP) Winfrey delivered a famous endorsement to then-Senator Barack Obama, her fellow Chicagoan, during his 2008 presidential campaign. "Who says you can't go home again?" she said tonight.

Julian Assange pleads guilty in US court

Julian Assange has pleaded guilty to a single felony charge in the courthouse of a remote US territory in the Pacific, ending a decade-plus legal saga over the publication of a trove of classified documents. The plane carrying the WikiLeaks founder to apparent freedom landed in the remote US territory of Saipan in the ocean between Papua New Guinea and Japan shortly before 6.30am, his supporters posted on X, for the final stage of a plea deal reached with the US Justice Department. Assange, clad in a dark suit with a bronze-coloured tie, arrived at the US courthouse in Saipan shortly before 8am AEST (Saipan is in the same timezone as Australia's east coast).

Tesla is recalling the Cybertruck again, this time because a piece can fly off

Tesla has issued two recalls on the Cybertruck, its third and fourth, since the model was introduced late last year. Currently, the Tesla Cybertruck is only sold in North America, as the region has less stringent design standards than Europe and Australia. The latest recall, which includes almost all of the nearly 12,000 trucks on the road so far, involves the truck's huge single windshield wiper and a piece of plastic trim along the edge of the truck bed. A piece of black plastic trim that runs along the edge of the truck's angled bed wall can come loose and may detach from the vehicle while it's being driven. "If the applique separates from the vehicle while in drive, it could create a road hazard for following motorists and increase their risk of injury or a ...

Who is Julian Assange and why is the embattled WikiLeaks founder now on the verge of freedom?

A plea deal with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will bring a stunning conclusion to an international saga of the quixotic hacker who exposed government secrets. The deal reached with the US Justice Department will lead to freedom for Assange after the Australian spent 12 years either in self-exile or prison. This is a look at Assange, the case and the latest developments. Who is Julian Assange? An Australian editor and publisher, he is best known for having founded the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, which gained massive attention — and notoriety — for the 2010 release of almost half a million documents relating to the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His activism made him a cause célèbre among press freedom advocates who said his work in exposing US milita...

Half a million immigrants could eventually get US citizenship under a sweeping new plan from Biden

President Joe Biden ordered expansive election-year action Tuesday to offer potential citizenship to hundreds of thousands of immigrants without legal status in the U.S., aiming to balance his recent aggressive crackdown on the southern border that enraged advocates and many Democratic lawmakers. The president announced that his administration will, in the coming months, allow certain U.S. citizens’ spouses without legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship without having to first depart the country. The action by Biden, a Democrat, could affect upwards of half a million immigrants, according to senior administration officials. “The Statue of Liberty is not some relic of American history. It still stands for who we are,” Biden said from a crowded East Ro...
